JuneteenthMany people think slavery ended on
September 22, 1862 - the date Abraham
Lincoln issued the Emancipation
Proclamation. In reality, many
slaves weren't freed until much later
when news of the proclamation reached
their towns. The last of those slaves lived in the South and were freed on June 19, 1865, after the Emancipation Proclamation was
read on a harbor pier in Galveston, Texas. This date eventually
became known as "Juneteenth."
While celebrations were long held
in Galveston and various parts of the country in earlier years, Texas lead
the way in making Juneteenth an official state holiday in 1980.
Today, Juneteenth is celebrated in
more than 40 states throughout the
country.

Believe the Miracle, See the Miracle, Be the MiracleBy Victor Hansen
You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own.
Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be prefect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than prefect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
One: In these words, God's voice is heard.All: Amen.

making their way in the world. This short, powerful book has a lot to teach us about love, power, actions, and creating a future
with hope.
Scripture Reading / Lectura Bíblica KK Goodsell
Ruth 3:1-8
Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, ‘My daughter, I need to seek some security for you, so that it may be well with you. Now here is our kinsman Boaz, with whose young women you have been working. See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing-floor. Now wash and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing-floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. When he lies down, observe the place where he lies; then, go and uncover his feet and lie down; and he will tell you what to do.’ She said to her, ‘All that you tell me I will do.’
So she went down to the threshing-floor and did just as her mother-in-law had instructed her. When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and he was in a contented mood, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came quietly and uncovered his feet, and lay down. At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and there, lying at his feet, was a woman!”
One: This is the Word of God for the People of God.All: Thanks be to God.

CommunionAs we gather, break
bread, and tell stories of hope through prayer,
song and ritual in the practice we call
"communion," we bear witness that "Life is stronger than death.
People can change with God’s help. And God is
worthy of our thanks and praise." All are welcome at the table: you do not need to be a member
of this or any church to gather as God's children
at the table of Life.
A brief blessing is offered with bread and
unfermented juice, available to all. Gluten-free bread is offered at the far right; Spanish blessing offered at the
far left.
Please honor this time of sacred community with
singing, quiet meditation or prayer that we might
each receive the spiritual nourishment we seek ...
ComuniónAl reunirnos, partir el pan, y contar historias
de esperanza a través de la oración, el canto y el ritual en la práctica que llamamos "comunión", damos testimonio de que "la vida es más
fuerte que la muerte. Las personas pueden
cambiar con la ayuda de Dios. Y Dios es digno de nuestro agradecimiento y alabanza. "Todos están
invitados a la mesa: no es necesario ser
miembro de esta iglesia o cualquier reunir como hijos de Dios en la mesa
de la Vida.
Una breve bendición se ofrece con el pan y el
jugo, al alcance de todos. Pan sin gluten se ofrece en el extremo derecho;
bendición españoles ofrecen en el extremo
izquierdo.
Por favor respetar este tiempo de comunidad
sagrada con canto, la meditación o la
oración silenciosa para que podamos recibir cada uno el alimento
espiritual que buscamos.

Love Lifted Me
I was sinking deep in shame, far from the peaceful shore,Very deeply pained within, sinking to rise no more,But the Maker of the sea heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! Love lifted me!When nothing else could help, Love lifted me!
All my heart to You I give, ever to You I’ll cling,In Your blessed presence live, ever Your praises sing,
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs,Faithful, loving service, too, to You belongs.
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me! Love lifted me! Love lifted me!When nothing else could help, Love lifted me!

A Special Welcome to First-Time Families!Our nursery staff would love to meet you and your infants & children aged one month through three years! The nursery is located to the right of the Sanctuary entrance and is open during both the 9 & 11 am services.Children and youth aged 4 - 17 years are invited to join our Youth Ministries Program during the 11 am service in the Activities Building (located across the breezeway from our main parking lot).

About Us…Resurrection MCC is a Christian church that follows God's call to justice for all people. We build on a rich history of social justice for, and on behalf of, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people. Since its founding in 1968, Metropolitan Community Churches have been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements as an international advocate for vulnerable people in places where religious orthodoxy, sexism, transphobia and homophobia can result in violence and death. MCC has been on the forefront in the struggle towards marriage equality in the US and other countries worldwide and continues to be a powerful voice in the LGBTQ equality movement. MCC’s ministry reaches over 43,000 members in over 250 churches in 22 countries worldwide.Metropolitan Community Churches are on a bold mission to transform hearts, lives, and history. We are a movement that faithfully proclaims God's inclusive love for all people and proudly bears witness to the holy integration of spirituality and sexuality. Because of our faith we are called to: do justice, show kindness, and live humbly with God (Micah 6:8); explore life's questions with open hearts and minds; raise our voices in sacred defiance against exclusion, whether religious, political or systemic; reach out to those with no hope; equip new generations of remarkable, far-reaching spiritual activists.
The MISSION of Resurrection MCC is to demonstrate God's unconditional love to all people through Christ-like action.The VISION of Resurrection MCC is to ATTRACT people into a relationship with God through radical INCLUSION into God's family, transform them to Christ-like MATURITY, and MOBILIZE them for their life purpose.
At Resurrection MCC, every member and friend is a minister of the church. We envision a Christian community that values diversity and is as diverse and all-encompassing as creation. Through salvation, service, study, and tithing, each member and friend will live and grow in faith and be spiritually fed. We embrace four core values:
Core ValuesInclusionLove is our greatest moral value. Inclusion is a primary focus of our ministry. We believe that all people, as they are and where they are, should be welcomed at God’s table. CommunityOur deep desire is to offer a safe and open community for people to worship, learn, share, and grow in their faith. We are committed to equipping ourselves and each other to do the work that God has called us to do in the world. Spiritual TransformationA message of liberation guides our ministry. We believe that when people are invited to experience God through the life and ministry of Christ, lives are transformed. JusticeWe are committed to uplifting all people and standing with those who suffer under the weight of oppressive systems. We are guided by our commitment to global human rights.

PEARLS OF WISDOM DAY OF DECISION
(and possible Legal Marriage Ceremony!) 5:00 pm on the Day of Decision
Likely BetweenMonday, June 22 - Monday, June 29
Resurrection MCC Sanctuary It is an historic time in the life of our nation and Metropolitan Community Churches. Resurrection MCC is honored to be a "Decision Day" gathering location in Houston for the day a decision comes down from the Supreme Court or the Fifth Circuit Court on the issue of marriage equality.We hope you will join us on campus that day at 5:00 pm as we celebrate decades of MCC advocacy that has brought us to this moment. In fact, Rev. Troy Perry performed the first same-sex marriage in the U.S. in December, 1968, just two months after founding the denomination. It is possible that the Harris County Clerk's Office will begin issuing marriage licenses on that day and waive the typical 72-hour waiting period. If that is the case, we will be hosting a mass same-sex marriage ceremony THAT DAY at 5:00 pm. If you are interested in getting married if it becomes legal (or are considering it), it is important that you email [email protected] with your names and cell phone numbers so that we may notify you of the critical and timely details as soon as we know of a decision. It will be very important that you have these details in order to participate.Couples are not required to be a member of Resurrection MCC or any church in order to participate. Please share this invitation widely with everyone you know who may be interested in coming to the celebration getting legally married, or attending the reception! Many thanks to all those who have worked tirelessly over 47 years in the MCC movement that have brought us to this day, and thanks be to God!Read about the history of marriage equality in the MCC movement at www.ResurrectionMCC.org/marriage

WEDNESDAYS
JULY 8 & 15 7 - 8:30 am
Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, prayer in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer.
